major with a fight record of 16-1.
By ROBERT CAMPBOL
Daly Reporter
Terry Daniels is quiet but determined
when he discusses his professional boxing
future. "I plan to be heavyweight champion
of the world within two years," he says.
Daniels, a senior pre-law major, meets
veteran Sonny Moore in a 10-round
rematch in Dallas Memorial Auditorium
July 13.
Daniels, 24, won the first match with
Moore in a controversial split decision and
realizes he needs to make a much stronger
showing this time to get matches with
better known heavyweights.
"I plan to show more skill and more class
in the next fight," said Daniels who has a
16-1 record. "I didn't put on a good profes-
sional showing in some of the middle
rounds of the last fight."
DANIELS is an affable, articulate, clean-
cut young man and is a contrast in a sport
which has often been tainted with sordid
characters. He is also intensely dedicated
to his profession as a boxer.
"I will do anything—give up school, train
harder—anything to advance myself in
boxing," Daniels said.
Daniels says he learned important
lessons from the Moore fight which have
given him added confidence.
"1 learned from the Moore fight that I
could go 10 rounds. 1 didn't know that
before. Even though the fight was close, I
proved ihat I could take a good jab. Sonny
is a hard puncher and has been in the ring
with good fighters."
DANIELS SAYS that his attitude is the
most important change in him as a fighter
and that he is working much harder on
conditioning.
"Before, I would never have sparred 10
rounds like I did Sunday," Daniels said. He
said that because of increased training, he
will weigh about 191 pounds, which is four
pounds under his normal fighting weight.
Daniels' training schedule includes a 3-
mile-run and four 100-yard sprints for his
morning workout.
In the evening from 6 until 8, he works
out in the Dallas Police Athletic League
gym. His training in the gym revolves
around a three minute workout and one
minute rest sequence. This is exactly the
time sequence of the rounds of a boxing
match.
In the gym, Daniels shadow boxes for
two rounds, spars with an opponent for six
rounds, hits the heavy bag for two rounds,
hits the speed bag for two rounds, and then
jumps rope for 10 minutes without rest. He
also does calisthenics. But Daniels
considers sparring the "meat" of the
workout.
HE AVOIDS heavy starches while
training and concentrates on steak and fish
for their protein value. Daniels also
consumes as many as 20 vitamins a day,
including a daily intravenous injection of
vitamin B12 and vitamin C complex.
Last Sunday, Daniels warmed up for his
upcoming fight by sparring 10 rounds with
three fighters. He boxed the last two rounds
with James Helwig, a top amateur heavy-
weight. Hel wig was fresh in their first round
and got the best of Daniels, but Daniels
landed strong punches in the last round and
caught Helwig with two good rights to the
face.
Daniels' manager, DougLord, was satis-
fied with his boxer's performance. "He
finished stronger than in June," Lord said,
"and was stronger in the middle round sand
he wasn't against Sonny Moore."
If he beats Moore again, Daniels is not
sure who he will fight next. Asked if he
would be ready for a man like Sonny Liston,
Daniels candidly admitted that he had not
progressed that far yet.
"IF I FOUGHT Liston, I would make a
big purse—maybe $5,000 or $10,000—
but it would probably be the last big one, or
one of the last big ones."
Regardless of who he fights, Daniels
plans to have at least two more matches
after the Moore bout before the fall semes-
ter begins.
Tickets for the July 13 fight will be
priced from $2 to $6.
Joe Courrege, an amateur boxer and
NTSU student, will also appear on the card
in a preliminary match.

CORNER OF EAGLE
PH 382-2023 & BERNARD
John Love, ex-flanker for the Eagles now
with the Washington Redskins, is attending
stffiool this summer before starting the pro
football season again.
A transfer from Cisco Junior College, he
was the leading pass receiver and scorer
during the 1965 and 1966 seasons for the
Eagles. He has been in the Army much of
the time since he was drafted by
Washington in 1967.
"I've been to an orientation camp for
rookies and those players who have been in
the Army," he said. "I will go to training
camp on July 14 and then back into the
Army, where I'm a cop, on July 19 for 13
days. 1 will be back in time for the first
exhibition game of the season."
"1 hope to play flanker and return punts
and kickoffs, but I might be switched to
defensive back if that's what Coach (Vince)
Lombardi wants. I played a little bit of
everything my rookie year and was in the
Army most of last year. So 1 may play
anywhere."
For North Texas during 1965, Love
caught 76 passes for 994 yards, seven TD's,
scored 69 points and was a member of the
All-Missouri Valley Conference team.
During 1966 he caught 68 passes for 1130
yards, 10 TD's, scored 88 points and was a
unanimous selection for the MVC team.
"He had a great rookie year with the
Redskins and I expect him to do well,"
said Fred Graham, NT sports information
director.
Love, the fourth leading pass catcher in
the nation at NT broke into the Redskin
lineup in his initial year as a pro. The
Washington coaching staff and fans alike
were impressed with his triple-threat abil-
ities as a flanker, kicker and punt return
man. Sports writers predicted Love would
be rookie of the year, but that chance was
spoiled by a draft notice and two years in
the Army.
Love has been running with Burkley
Harkness, also an ex-Eagle, who has signed
with the San Francisco 49ers this year.
Speaking of the season's prospects, Love
said, "I think Dallas is a good team with a
lot of potential, but some of the predictors
are picking Washington to win their divi-
sion over Dallas. I think we have as good
a chance as anyone else."
"We play Pittsburgh this year, so 1 will
run into Joe Greene. But I don't mind that
because it's part of the game," he said.
Love switched his major to recreation and
will need 12 more hours after this term. He
will be back in the spring to finish his
degree.
